PrivateEye 3.20 has StrongHelp

by David Thomas on

PrivateEye 3.20 is now available. PrivateEye is a viewer for Sprites, DrawFiles, JPEGs, ArtWorks, GIFs and PNGs. It also has editing features including bitmap effects and rotation. It runs on RISC OS.

Here’s a screenshot of it running in RISC OS 4 via RPCEmu:

Version 3.20 has had quite a few changes. The main goal was to reduce the reliance on the Tinct module—that’s used to render alpha channel sprites—and to replace the PDF format user guide with a StrongHelp one. I’ll break the changes down into sections:
